2. 1. Four Proposals for Enterprise Modeling

   Author : Darek Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; change; development; enterprise; modeling process; enterprise modeling language; systems science; constructivist epistemology; organization; modeling; multi-modal modeling; model;

   Abstract : Any enterprise whether a major corporation, a small family-owned business, a public school, a hospital, or a military unit needs to develop itself continuously in order to adapt to the challenges originating within itself and from its environment, in relation to its overall purpose or mission. Deliberate development and management of an enterprise manifest complexity that gives rise to a central challenge: how can we obtain a comprehensive intelligibility of an enterprise? One conceptual tool to overcome this challenge is enterprise modeling; it supports articulation of an enterprise and consequently intelligibility of its complexity. READ MORE

4. 2. Reasoning with Bounded Cognitive Resources

   Author : Abdul Rahim Nizamani; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Artificial general intelligence; logical reasoning; inductive learning; proof systems; bounded cognitive resources; cognitive modeling;

   Abstract : Reasoning is an essential element of intelligence. Automated reasoning in formal and symbolic systems is a major topic in computer science and artificial intelligence (AI). Programs for computer-assisted and automated theorem proving are being constructed and used by mathematicians and logicians. READ MORE

   Abstract : The thematic core of the thesis is about how to manage modeling procedures in real settings. The view taken in this thesis is that modeling is a heuristic tool to outline a problem, often conducted in a context of a larger development process. READ MORE

6. 4. In Search of Prototypes and Feminist Bank-Tellers: Exploring the Representativeness Heuristic

   Author : Håkan Nilsson; Peter Juslin; Karl Halvor Teigen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Psychology; Cognitive psychology; Subjective probability; Representativeness heuristic; PROBEX; Category learning; Cognitive modeling; Conjunction fallacy; Psykologi;

   Abstract : According to the heuristics and biases approach, the representativeness heuristic (RH) is one of the heuristics available for assessing subjective probabilities (A. Tversky & D. Kahneman, 1974). A subjective probability assessed by the RH is determined by how representative the target object is of the target category. READ MORE
